Morimoto’s Ranch Dressing
Posted by tastingmenu in Morimoto At Home, Nobu At Home, Uncategorized on April 9, 2024
Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com –* https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/vegetable-marinated-fish-nobu-style/ So this weekend, I wanted to make my take on Nobu’s umami chicken wings. In preparation to make that dish, I saved up all my vegetable scraps, peels and trimmings to make his umami marinade. And into that marinade went about 1.5 lbs of chicken wings. However, I observed that […]
Morimoto Goma Ae
Posted by tastingmenu in Morimoto At Home on March 31, 2024
So I’d been thinking of vegan offerings for a hassun or possibly even a sakizuke course. One of the things that came to mind was Iron Chef Morimoto’s Ingen no Goma Ae offering from his Mastering The Art Of Japanese Home Coooking (p. 226, 227). So instead of regular string beans, I thought “why not […]

That being said, I was thinking about making carbonara at home and then I came […]

Morimoto’s Cuttlefish Katsu And Gorgonzola Sauce
Posted by tastingmenu in Morimoto At Home, Uncategorized on August 19, 2023
Previously on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2023/04/15/savory-custards/* https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2020/09/19/nobu-creamy-spicy-tartar-sauce/ So I recently re-viewed an Iron Chef Morimoto contest featuring cuttlefish. What got my attention was the cuttlefish katsu with shredded cabbage and a ‘gorgonzola sauce’. (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUI6bUeppHI starting at time index 19:25) That sauce looked really familiar until I remembered Morimoto’s Tempura from his Morimoto: The New […]
A note on vegan dashi
Posted by tastingmenu in Fundamentals, HomeCooking, Morimoto At Home, Murata At Home, Nobu At Home on July 30, 2023
Recently, I was asked a question about how to prepare Japanese dashi for vegans. As it would turn out from Yoshihiro Murata of Kikunoi, he clearly states in his Kaiseki cookbook (for his Kikunoi restaurant) that he uses 30g (1oz) of rishiri konbu (the konbu used by Iron Chef Michiba & Iron Chef Morimoto). He […]
